Raul L Madrid Retiring the State All Books sku-140682706

In Retiring the State, Raul L Madrid studies the origins of pension privatization in Latin America during the 1990s. The reforms changed how countries provided retirement income and prompted protests by workers and pensioners. Drawing on field research and interviews with policymakers, Madrid argues that financial pressures and macroeconomic goals, including higher domestic savings and lower long-term public pension spending, drove the reforms. The hardcover book includes case studies of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, a survey of efforts in Eastern Europe and Latin America, and a worldwide quantitative analysis.
